The In Contrada Vineyard Brigante is a captivating red blend from the Campania region, composed of the bold Aglianico and expressive Barbera varietals. This 2022 vintage showcases a deep, rich color that immediately draws you in. On the palate, it presents a harmonious balance between its full-bodied Aglianico nature and the vibrant acidity contributed by Barbera, resulting in a lively and memorable tasting experience. The wine's pronounced fruit intensity, characterized by notes of blackberries and dark cherries, is complemented by complex layers of leather, tobacco, and subtle hints of spice. The tannins are structured yet refined, giving the wine a robust framework that promises excellent aging potential. With its well-crafted composition and dynamic flavor profile, the In Contrada Vineyard Brigante is a stellar example of what Campania has to offer, making it an exciting addition to any wine enthusiast’s collection.

Italy

While France takes the crown for the most famous wines styles and grape varieties, Italy is where wine was first perfected. The ancient Greeks called it Oenotria—"land of the vines"—and the Roman Empire advanced grape growing and winemaking to a level of quality we still enjoy today. But behind Italy's best-known wines, such as Chianti, Barolo and prosecco, there's an almost endless diversity of delights awaiting the intrepid explorer. The key to understanding Italian wine is regionality and (of course) food. From the aromatic and sparkling whites of the north to Sicily's rich and spicy reds, Italy offers wine lovers a lifetime of gastronomic treats.
